Random thoughts from a few cantankerous American physicians. All contributors are board certified. Various specialties are represented here. I do not know where this will lead but hope it will at least be an enjoyable read. All of the names mentioned in this blog are pseudonyms, the ages have been changed, and in half the cases the gender as well. All photographs are published with patient consent or are digitally altered to preserve anonymity. Trust us, we're doctors.

IMO, Roberts vote was not what you think. It was pure strategy. If this was all struck down, Republicans would surely lose the election - reason being healthcare must be a campaign point for them, without it they are done for. No president or party can change the economy/jobs... why it's not discussed at any depth.

All I'm sayin is Roberts better not have one of his fits around me....Jeez-us, the guys a friggin Epileptic, can't drive a car legally, but gets to rule on the Constitution?...And I'd be-a packin up my game and movin to somewhere more hospitable to my peoples, umm maybe Terror-an, if I didn't stand to make millions from my Cash-Only-F-Informed-Consent-Garage-Epidural-Vasectomy-Spa...

The docs that were interviewed on Fox today included some in private practice as well as some in academic positions. As can be expected those who were in private practice told the entire truth about how bad this socialist law is for them and called out the academic doctors on the truth....very different ....although all agreed this was not good for physicians as a whole...,depressing to watch.

@ 9-11 "Shares"?? umm who knows, look how that Zuckerman dude turned out... But seriously, after deducting malpractice, CME hassles, the stress/paperwork/PTSD from that 600lb Pap Smear in 1987(The Horror! The Horror!)I look FORWARD to spending some time at the Pawnshop... And there's a backroom where we do the Credit "Counseling" that would be perfect for off-the-books Snip-Jobs...
